Top 6 best concealers 2024

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

Perhaps Instant Age Rewind is no longer strange to everyone. In almost every beauty blogger’s videos, this girl appears frequently.

This product comes in the form of a cushion pen, a liquid cream with 5 colors suitable for Asian skin. Unique sponge tip design, helps spread cream easily. In the new version, the tip can be removed for cleaning. But you have to be careful because it tears easily.

In addition to coverage, the Instant Age Rewind cushion pen also contains goji berries to help moisturize the skin and prevent makeup from drying and peeling.

When blending, it’s easy to blend using a beauty blender or your hands. Especially when using this product, there will be no phenomenon of concealer remaining, even after applying it on the face for many hours.

For me, this is the perfect choice to conceal eye imperfections. This is a drugstore line so the price is extremely reasonable. A note for you is that this product is a bit expensive to use.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

Radiant Creamy Concealer is designed like a cream lipstick with a transparent glass bottle so you can see the color tone and amount of cream inside. Soft brush head design, makes it easy to apply cream.

The cream texture is a bit thick, but quite easy to spread, blends naturally into the skin, does not cause marks or residue. This product has an impressive color palette with 16 light and dark tones suitable for many makeup styles and skin tones.

This is one of my favorite concealers. This product can cover all imperfections on the face, including dark circles, acne, wrinkles, eye bags, etc. This product does not dry out the acne areas.

Nars concealer has good color adhesion, the color adhesion time is up to 5 hours.

NARS concealer is really expensive. But it can be used for a long time, so if you can invest, buy this concealer.

The Saem Cover Perfection TIP Concealer

The SAEM has a pen-like design that is quite compact and convenient to carry. The letters on the product are quite easy to peel off and degrade.

The cream is quite soft and smooth, does not dry too quickly so it is easy to spread. The cream quickly blends into the skin creating a natural look. The product has a sun protection index of SPF28/PA++.

The product only has 3 color tones. The plus point of this product is that it doesn’t lose tone, has good coverage, covers dark circles, red pimples and freckles.

This product is very suitable for students, office workers who need to use it every day.

One thing to note when using this product is that the cream often spreads on the outer lid, so you must tighten it tightly when not in use to avoid the cream flowing back out and smearing on your bag. If you’re more careful, you can wrap the tissue outside and put it in your bag.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

MAC’s concealer is designed as a pump head with a capacity of 9ml. I find this design unreasonable. For those with few shortcomings, 1 pump is too much, excess is wasteful.

Just like NARS, this product can be used for dark eye areas or any skin imperfections. Smooth, matte texture, easy to spread liquid. You can use your hands, a brush or a sponge to spread it.

With 16 diverse color tones corresponding to MAC’s foundation colors, it’s quite easy to find. Coverage is quite good, natural coverage. But if the acne is too red or swollen, you have to apply many layers to cover it all.

Regarding adhesion, it is the same as NARS, good color adhesion, stable color retention and long lasting. Pro longwear does not control oil. If you are afraid of spilling oil when covering a large area, you should use a primer.

However, with a liquid texture, the amount used is also higher, causing more product waste.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Full Cover Concealer

This product has a tube design with a soft shell that makes it easy to squeeze out the amount of cream needed. The tip of the tube is quite small so you don’t end up with too much cream, causing waste.

The cream texture is not too thick but not liquid like liquid concealer. The color palette is quite diverse with 12 tones to help you easily choose the right color.

You should use a sponge or brush to blend the cream more easily. Note that the cream dries quite quickly, so you have to quickly spread it evenly.

I think MAKE UP FOR EVER will not be suitable for concealing eyes, because it is a bit thick. For those who want to cover acne and dark spots, this is the ideal product.

The price is high, but 1 tube can be used for a long time. Each time you use it, you only need a little cream to dab on dark spots and acne to cover it all. In particular, the cream is waterproof, so even if you go in the rain or sweat a lot, the cream will not peel off.

Another plus point of the product is its long-lasting ability. I use it all day without the color fading or showing dark spots or acne.

Missha Cover Maestro Tip Concealer

The first time I saw this product, I liked it because the packaging was so beautifully designed. The lid is made of rough, nude-colored plastic and holds firmly in the hand. The brush head is soft and long, making it easy to spread onto the skin.

Liquid cream texture, easy to spread on the skin without leaving white streaks, does not cause uncomfortable greasiness. The cream is smooth and has quite good coverage. Covering pores, covering acne, covering dark spots are all fine.

The plus point of the product lies in its benign ingredients. With pennywort and green tea extracts, even if you have sensitive skin or easily irritated acne, you can use this product.

Missha has a total of 6 color tones. You can use this for highlighting (color 17), shading (color 23)… However, Missha’s color tone is quite dark. If you have very white skin, you will not be able to find a color that matches your skin.

Why should you use concealer?

1. Hides defects

Thanks to the uniform color tone with the foundation, this cream can perfectly hide acne marks, melasma, or dark circles under eye bags. Furthermore, this product can also conceal imperfections to make the makeup layer smoother and more perfect.

2. Helps you keep your lipstick color longer

Concealer can help you keep your lipstick color lasting and more standard. You just need to use your fingertips to apply a little cream on your lips. Wait until this layer of cream has dried, and you can apply lipstick. At the same time, if you want your lips to become plumper, use cream to apply to the arc of your upper lip.

3. Used to contour the face

You can contour your face using a dark concealer. Apply the cream to contour areas such as the nose, chin, and cheeks, and then use a brush to blend it evenly. This can also help you save significant costs on buying bronzer.

4. Can thicken mascara

To have thicker and curled eyelashes, use concealer before using mascara. Just apply a little cream from the eyelid to the tip of the eye before applying mascara and you will get surprising results.

However, you should only use liquid concealer in this case.

5. Helps cheekbones become brighter

To give your cheeks a bright pink color, you can also use the cream on your cheekbones and use a brush to spread it evenly and then apply blush. Or mix cream blush with concealer and apply on cheekbones.

6. High mobility

With its small size and lovely design, you can take this product everywhere and use it anytime without any difficulty.

7. Optimal savings

As I mentioned above, this cream can be used to maintain lipstick color and used instead of bronzer. This will help you save a lot of money and space for storing cosmetics.

Revealing experiences when buying concealer

1. Choose the appropriate cream line according to your needs

Based on structure, people divide concealer cream into many different types

Pen cream

Pen cream is also known as concealer pencil. For those who want to cover small dark spots, or acne or only apply it in small areas, you should choose this cream.

Liquid cream

This type of product usually has a brush included. Thanks to its liquid form, the cream easily absorbs evenly on the skin without leaving any residue. Therefore, this product is not suitable for concealing acne-prone skin and is more suitable for concealing dark circles in the sensitive skin around the eyes.

Cream in stick form

This cream can fade acne and melasma on the face. However, it is not suitable for sensitive skin areas such as dark circles around the eyes.

Compressed cream

This type of cream is suitable for many skin areas because it has fully converged the advantages of liquid cream and stick cream. Usually, compressed cream will be packaged in a small box, has high uniformity, and adheres well to skin areas.

You can spread it evenly with a brush without causing discomfort on your skin. Therefore, you can use it for any location and any skin type.

2. Choose a concealer color for each skin area

For dark skin around the lips should choose creams with white or light tones. This will help make your skin look more natural.

Skin areas with acne should choose a pencil-shaped concealer with a green tone to neutralize red acne marks.

For red skin around the nose, choose cream, green, or beige tones to cover the red areas around the nose most naturally and brightly.

Skin areas with melasma and scars should choose a liquid cream that is lighter in color than the foundation, yellow or orange is most suitable.

For puffiness and dark circles, you should use liquid creams containing vitamins A and K. At the same time, choose a cream with pink or orange tones that will be suitable, and remember to apply the cream in an inverted triangle shape to hide imperfections.

Thin skin areas have blood vessels, so concealer pens and lines directly on the blood vessels that need to be covered and products with pink or orange tones to neutralize the color of the blood vessels.

Wrinkled skin around the eyes should choose a liquid concealer with an orange or darker tone than skin color for the most natural results.

​3. Choose cream according to skin characteristics

For dry and oily skin

Particularly for those with dry and oily skin, there are often red pimples and peeling skin. At this time, a liquid cream with a cream texture that is not too dry will be the right choice.

For normal skin

Normal skin often has dark spots and large pores. I think you should use compressed creams or bars for high coverage.

For skin that is slightly pale and red

For those of you with slightly pale and red skin, use liquid products to neutralize your skin!

​4. Choose a cream with skincare ingredients

Concealer cream is used every day, so you should prioritize choosing creams containing vitamins A, C, and E, to enhance collagen and moisture as well as limit the skin aging process. Thus, the new Can protect the skin against the side effects of cosmetics.

5. Choose a cream with acne-fighting ingredients

If your skin is experiencing oily acne conditions, you should choose creams containing anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial ingredients. This will help treat acne and prevent acne from developing further.

6. Choose a genuine ice cream brand

Not only when buying concealer cream, but with any type of cosmetics, you should prioritize choosing products with clear origins. Of course, they must be reputable brands that are verified by health agencies to have safety standards.

Instructions on how to use concealer

Step 1: Clean the skin

Before using this cream, remember to clean your face with a specialized facial cleanser. This will provide moisture to the skin and help the cream last longer.

Step 2: Choose the right cream

Next, choose the right cream for each skin area. You should try cream tones on your face instead of your hands and remember to keep your face bare!

Step 3: Cover dark circles

Use it to lightly dab the cream on the skin under your eyes, remember to dab from the inside near the bridge of your nose to the bottom of your eyes. Then, blend evenly so the cream blends with your skin color.

Step 4: Apply to acne and small blemishes

To cover all acne and dark spots on the face. You use the brush to gently apply the cream to each point and then spread it around.

Step 5: Fix the cream

After using the concealer, you can apply a layer of foundation and then spread the foundation evenly over the entire face.

Which creme cream should I buy?

After experiencing many products, for me NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is the best concealer with outstanding quality for the following reasons:

About design: NARS has a compact and luxurious design. With a cylindrical shape that’s easy to hold and a soft brush head that helps apply cream easily

About efficiency:

With a slightly thick cream, but quite easy to spread and blend into the natural skin, NARS helps me cover most of the flaws on my face.

The product has up to 16 light and dark color tones to help you easily choose the color tone that best suits you.

The color lasts for a long time, so you can participate in activities lasting 5-6 hours without worrying about facial imperfections being exposed.

Although the price is higher than other product lines, this product can be used for a long time, and with the benefits the product brings, I find the price completely worth it.
